Features: All phenomena are dynamic yet orderly. The form of art is this order, and the content of art is the life of dynamism. The life of dynamism manifests the order of nature, like a great work of art. This book collects multiple classroom lecture notes and speeches by the master of aesthetics and philosophy, Mr. Zong Baihua, from the late 1920s, including "Aesthetics," "Artology," "Artology (Lecture)," "Metaphysics," and several essays on "Confucian Metaphysics and the Discussion of 'Investigation of Things'." It systematically explains the fundamental concepts and research methods of Western aesthetics and artology, the comparison of Chinese and Western metaphysics, and the debate over ancient and modern "investigation of things" thoughts. The lecture notes integrate Chinese and Western perspectives, cite classical texts, and fully display the master's scholarly demeanor.
